Hey, you can call me Olimpia. 😉 I’m a self-taught Purposeful Personality Typologist. As well as: Socionics & Enneagram Expert, Life Coach, Compatibility Guide, Dream Decoder, Psychospiritualist.

I guide curious minds to live in alignment with their personality type using Jungian, Enneagram and psychospiritual tools 💫 so they feel more fulfilled & attract their match. 💜

Quick Timeline

• In 2013 I discovered personality type theory, first MBTI, then Enneagram, then Socionics.
• In 2015/2016 I started two blogs on personality types, one about my typings of celebs/characters (V.I.P Personality Typology), one about the theory here.
  • This is also the time when I started typing my first clients. This became a regular occurrence starting in 2018.
  • In that time I talked with people and types from all over the world through Google+ Hangout, including Tom Condon and Katherine Fauvre.
• In 2019 started my official Type•volution YouTube channel and share what I have learned in terms of actual personal growth (with personality type theory).
• Since 2020 I have also been Type•Coaching clients, giving them guidance and helping them accept and honor their personality, some of which also attracted their romantic partner as a result (this depended on whether it was one of their personal goals).

My Personal Story of Type•volution

Before I first discovered personality type theory in 2013, I felt deeply unfulfilled in my life and I wasn’t sure why. My life seemed fine on the surface and I was mostly following the path that people told me to go down on. But it made me deeply unhappy. I was driven by the desire to change my negative outlook, my troubling feelings, my loneliness, and the lack of satisfaction. I wanted to figure out my true needs, my purpose, and which kind of people would be most compatible with me. 

In the process I tested out different compatibility theories, bought books on the types and read about the career advice. And I read as much as possible about personality types online. Some theories I discarded because they made no sense, some advice I realized was not the best suited to my actual personality. 

My main findings were:

• A big part of my unhappiness stemmed from not fulfilling my instinctual needs, harming them, and prioritizing them wrong
• Another aspect was trying to act like or become other Jungian personalities, rather than accepting mine for what it is and searching for (and following!) a purpose that suits it
• Last but not least, focusing too much on personality types that weren’t compatible (enough) with mine on a cognitive level, which in turn perpetuated that negative cycle of trying to be a different personality to appease them or match with them, just to be exhausted or disillusioned by the end. (Side Note: It is possible to be exhausted or disillusioned by a cognitively good match if the individual is too mentally/emotionally unhealthy. Part of the process was recognizing that and increasing my own mental and emotional maturity.)

When I got to a point of being knowledgeable enough, I shared my insights with others. Eventually, someone actually paid me around 600 euros for my advice. I was quite surprised – I had not asked for any payment – but that was the sign for me I should keep going. For a while I had merely been sharing my thoughts for free because I was obsessed with the subject, I never thought about actually making a career or business out of it. But that seemed like the most logical next step, so I created Type•volution. 

The name “Type•volution“ comes from personality type and my focus on personal evolution. Throughout my journey, I realized that personal growth had been the real answer to my issues, and a big part of that growth had come from properly utilizing personality type theory. Honestly I was rather annoyed by people using personality type theory as an excuse for why their “life sucked“ or why they could never be happy, or on the flip side using it just as an identity with no desire to actually do something with the advice. 

So Type•volution was supposed to be the alternative to those subpar methods of using personality type. I believe that every personality type is valuable and fulfills a specific Purpose (Role) in this world, so the reason why your “life sucks” is not your actual personality, but rather what you do with it. Of course it can be difficult to meet your personality’s needs when you don’t know them or when you try to meet them in destructive ways, so my advice was supposed to help with that. Also most compatibility theories online were based on wrongly applied theory and to some extent fictional, they neither made sense nor did they hold up in reality (during my testing). Focusing on personality types that better suit or complement me was another crucial aspect to my development, hence I share my recommendations on that as well.

There is certainly a unique issue I encountered whilst studying personality type theory: so many different takes on the same subject are out there. It can be hard to move through the thicket of all those contradicting theories and ideas. If you are confused by it or have been wading through a sea of opposing information for a while, I would encourage you to focus on one main philosophy for a while and actually test it, to see if it holds up to reality. Obviously I would encourage you to pick my philosophy and test it for a while, but you can do it with others as well (just not all at the same time). It is the same method I applied to figure out what was real and true, I focused on one main theory for a while until I was sure it was wrong or right. So I invite you to do this with Type•volution, give it some undivided time to see if it will work for you. To do so, it is best to focus on my content and sign up to work with me, so we can evolve your personality together. 😀 

P.S: To be entirely transparent, Type•volution is a small business – I am the only one working on it and for it, and I do work another job. (In order to keep my private and corporate lives separate from this online space, I use the alias “Olimpia”.) But I believe in sharing with you all my findings on personality types and self-development, because it all had such a profound effect on my life. And if that means working extra, so be it. Certainly it would help a lot if you spread the word, because then I will be able to dedicate much more of my time and energy to the cause. 🙂

P.P.S: I grew up in Germany, so I can speak English and German fluently. 😉

What Type•volution Stands For

Self-Awareness & Self-Acceptance:

Only once you know and accept your core being, you are able to embrace your unique path.

Illuminating your Darkness:

Instead of succumbing to or avoiding your own darkness, overcome it by moving towards the light / your higher self.

Personal & Collective Fulfilment:

As you fulfill your needs, keep in mind that your purpose is connected to the collective – we need to be in service both to ourselves and others.

Yin & Yang:

The balance of complementary energies and psychologies, including femininity and masculinity: we thrive when we honor our primary nature.

Evolution:

Strive to evolve – aim for progress and personal transformation, thereby inspiring others to do the same.
